Great task management, easy to spaghetti your team's tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
Asana has done an excellent job at providing a collaboration-friendly web-based solution, that allows granular tasks to be grouped into lists or projects. Great ability to separate teams to keep individual views from being cluttered, while allowing project managers to group and track work at different metrics points.
What do you dislike about the product?
Without a very clear plan going in, it can be easy for team leaders to become overwhelmed with the sheer bulk of information listed in Asana, which can lead to the urge to "gut" the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Asana helps list out granular tasks and specific needs for projects, which allows you to see the breadth and depth of a project's completion over time. This led to a distinct uptake in productivity and more fully completed projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Let your teams learn how Asana works, and encourage them to find what works for them. There are several different ways to view tasks, so let your people figure out what works best in their case. You'll still be able to see everything you need to for oversight and tracking purposes. The gamification they recently improved really does make it more fun to use!
Simple and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Very simple interface. Requirements were to track, collaborate, and manage projects from ideation to creation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Project hierarchy is the only area that is not VERY simply to use. It's bad, just not great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We no longer have to manage project progress and communication through email. Project management is taken care of, and continued collaboration, customization, etc. on content throughout its lifecycle happens within Seismic.
Using Asana for Editorial Calendar
What do you like best about the product?
Asana allows users to create multiple projects, which is helpful in filtering through lists of tasks, and allows tasks to be assigned to team members. Additionally, any created tasks can have tags, due dates, sub-tasks, and file attachments — particularly helpful when conversing with a team and avoiding back-and-forth emails.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lacking a desktop version to view projects and tasks when offline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintaining an editorial calendar to organize and prioritize the news and public relations efforts of a non-profit.
Great tool for group project managment!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the tagging and task following capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish you didn't have a pay just as much as Asana it's self for the time tracking. I think that is a core feature that should come with basic membership. It would be so nice to allocate a time amount to a task so that the team can see workload in that way. Too much to do is our biggest issue right now and we need a way to prove that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organization and simple project management where huge issues as our team grew. This has helped all of us work together, keep on track, and helps nothing to fall threw the cracks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Always do your research, but asana is what was best for our team.
Great project management tool for small companies!
What do you like best about the product?
It's great to be able to add projects and add only the people that are relevant to the project so they can follow along. Makes it easy to see what people are working on and to track progress.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice if Asana was able to somehow function as a "checkout" form for people to essentially check out items from the office or request certain things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's been a helpful communication tool for us when it comes to certain projects.
Fantastic Organizational Software
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to aggregate tasks in a way that is easy to keep track of, as well as easily transfer tasks between various users.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a completely internet-dependent application; if you do not have a live internet connection you cannot use the software. This is especially detrimental for the mobile app; I would highly recommend for Asana to integrate some manner of background save to the app. Even with a high-speed WiFi internet connection, the app still feels a little sluggish to respond after you have selected a task, as it loads all of the information.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our main pain point was interacting with web developers for our various websites, and keeping track of their tasks lists and updates waiting to roll out. This has greatly helped to streamline that process, and make sure that no task gets missed.
Excellent solution for team project management
What do you like best about the product?
Simple, intuitive, versatile, scalable...the list goes on. Asana is one of the most flexible, yet simple project management tools I've used. I like it so much, I use it for my personal projects and to-do list. One feature that really sold it for me is the ability to sort by today, upcoming and later, similar to David Allen's Getting Things Done approach. This has been an incredible help in prioritizing tasks and keeping track of ideas, even if they're off in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one aspect I've found lacking is a central location to post notes and share documents outside of individual projects. But that's a minor issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication has increased dramatically. The ability to comment on tasks and projects is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's so simple a caveman could do it.
Best Project Management System I have used.
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is simple and easy for staff to understand and use and the constant development of new features allows us to grow as a business alongside the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could use better user management system for administrator
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With the open style of asana's project management system it allows for transparency within our business as well as greater opportunities to build our corporate culture and employee cooperation. Individuals are more likely to know when and how to help other coworkers in varying levels of projects by simply seeing the progression and stages of any number of projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do yourself a favor and make the switch as soon as possible
Really solid project management tool
What do you like best about the product?
it was one of my first project management tools which I used to finish the biggest project of my life - medical tourism platform and video consultations. I loved it for simple interface and really great team management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Couple years ago it wasn't integrated with many external platforms. From what I know now it's way better. You have dropbox, slack, google drive etc. It's also still not that great in mobile area. Recently I prefer Trello for really simple project management then dealing with asana or even slack which are too big for my purposes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I mentioned I solved really big project with Asana. It helped me to manage small team which reduced costs and also helped me to execute and finish that big project. Most of team members was remote so we needed something solid and reliable. Asana provided that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can easily recommend Asana for example for startup teams, web project teams. It'll be really helpful to manage different small teams and control their tasks. It's really great when team is using Agile method or Scrum.
